Head of state
SourcedAlso First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba since 19 April 2021. Salvador Valdés Mesa is Vice President of the Republic.
Partial cabinet. Official Cuban government pages (presidencia.gob.cu, parlamentocubano.gob.cu, cubaminrex.cu) returned errors (HTTP 503) on 16 October 2026, so every claim is sourced, not verified. The ministers listed are taken from the Council of Ministers membership as of 16 March 2026 reported by Wikipedia, which cites the government website. Ministries affected by the July 2026 restructuring (Economy and Planning, Finance and Prices, Higher Education, Science, Technology and Environment, Agriculture, Food Industry) and those that Spanish Wikipedia lists as merged in 2026 (Construction, Industries, Domestic Trade, Foreign Trade and Investment) are left out because their current heads could not be confirmed. Labour and Social Security is also left out: the sources conflict (vacant, or Jesús Otamendiz Campos since 2025). Titles are translated from Spanish. Start dates are given only where a source states an exact date.
